Customer Focus (CF)

Centres on delivering measurable value by aligning decisions, priorities, and feedback loops to real customer needs and outcomes across all stages of product delivery.

Deliver what matters. Shape systems and decisions around customer outcomes, not internal convenience.

Overview

Customer Focus is the lens through which all meaningful delivery is measured. It’s not about opinions. It’s about outcomes. If your product doesn’t change customer behaviour, it doesn’t matter how elegant the code is or how smooth the deployment was.

Customer Focus drives:

If you’re optimising team velocity, delivery cadence, or engineering throughput without validating customer value, you’re reinforcing the wrong system.

Signs of Customer Focus in Practice

What to Expect

Expect clarity. Expect discipline. Expect work that doesn’t just move fast, but moves in the right direction.

Customer Focus demands that every system of work stays anchored in the only metric that matters: did we deliver something valuable to our customer?
